My gold mystery snail seems a little dirty. I was thinking of scrubbing his shell with a toothbrush (in the tank, not using any kind of soap or anything). Would that be a bad idea?

What if I stuck some ottos in there. Would they clean his shell? Probably not ... I don't think it's algae.
 
A soft toothbrush would do the job. Try to find out what is making the "dirt" and try to minimize the source in the future since it bothers you.
